The transfer window craziness is in full swing all of a sudden with Hannibal Mejbri at the centre of a tug of war.
After Sevilla were proclaimed as the winners of the race to sign the player on loan, Fabrizio Romano reports that Everton are trying to hijack the deal.
Romano reports that contacts are taking place today and although Freiburg and Lyon lost to Sevilla, Hannibal now has a decision to make.

Staying in the Premier League could be an attractive prospect for the midfielder over going to Sevilla.
Even for United, seeing him against Premier League opposition would be a far better marker of his talents than what he does in a different league.
